Game Drive & Other Attractions
Bethanie Hotel & Guest House is situated in the middle of all the Southern tourist attractions - The breath-taking views of the Fish River Canyons, the wild horses at Aus, the diamond shores of Luderitz and the Sossusvlei sand dunes.
Southern Namibia is renowned for its otherworldly landscapes, where the vast Namib Desert unfolds into a tapestry of stunning natural beauty. Among its crown jewels is Sossusvlei, a surreal salt and clay pan encircled by some of the highest sand dunes on Earth. These dunes, with their shifting, fiery hues of red and orange, create a breathtaking contrast against the pale, cracked earth below. The area is not only a paradise for photographers and nature lovers but also a testament to the raw, untouched beauty of the desert.
